You follow Vineken up the cherry tree, popping a few cherries into your mouth on the way. Unfortunately you forgot that cherries have pits and nearly break your teeth. You spit them out ground-wards, hoping you do not hit anyone in doing this.
Finally, you reach the treehouse structure at the top. You approach it, only to be confronted by an irrate female Senoch. She growls angrily. 'State your business immediately, or leave.' Your hands go numb, and you stutter incoherently about meeting Renox further down the tree. The chocolate brown female stares at you with cold purple eyes, obviously not believing a word you say.
'Wait, Pricilla! The human is telling the truth!' Vineken jumps in front of you, prepared to argue your case. Both of your pixie guides join him as well, attempting to calm the angry Senoch. Suddenly, Kalika takes on a new course of action...
'All the human wants to do is admire your beauty, as well as that of your cub. The others were telling us of you and Halta. Weren't they?' All of you nod in unison. Pricilla bats her eyelids and rubs a paw across her head.
'Really? Is that all then? Follow me.' Pricilla saunters into the dwelling, glancing back at you. You obediently follow her in.
You glance around the dim building, noting the blankets and furs piled around. You wonder where they came from, but then conclude that Rikale and Kalika most likely brought them in. A pile moves! You gasp and then notice a small yellow head poking out. A soft mewling comes to your ears.
'Come out, baby! Yes darling, you have some admirers!' Pricilla coos to the tiny cub, who makes her way out of the blankets and stumbles over to you. She looks up into your eyes with her deep violet ones, the same colour as the bow around her neck. You hold out a hand to her. She sniffs you curiously.
'Pricilla!' a voice calls from outside. 'I found him peeking at you again while you slept this morn --' The voice breaks off and a red and cream head pokes its way into the dwelling. 'Oh. Visitors? A human?' The female Senoch steps into the building, eyeing you nervously. 'What is one of those doing in here?'
'Admiring me, of course!' Pricilla strikes a pose, quite sure of her own beauty. The other female eyes her skeptically. She purses her lips, but refuses to comment.
'Emesh, you didn't tell her!' another voice sounds. A strange Senoch bursts into the small room, nearly bowling tiny Halta over. She waddles up to you, mewling, and you pick her up, cradling her from harm.
'Peabody, you dunce! Watch where you're going! And yes, I did tell her,' snaps Emesh, the reddish Senoch. 'She deserves to know if she is being eyed over by a peeping tom!' The strange male blushes, an interesting sight. You never realized that a cat could blush, and you wonder if you didn't just imagine it.
'Get out, everyone!' Pricilla roars. 'Your antics are going to hurt Halta. We can't let her grow up with any scars marring her beauty!' Pricilla turns to you. 'Thank you, Human, for saving my cub. I will remember your kind act.'
'As will I,' adds Emesh. 'We Senoch are very protective, and we never forget kindness done. As for you,' she says, turning towards Peabody, 'don't put another foot in here!' He cowers and slinks out of the building.
'It was very nice meeting you, Human,' chorus the two female Senochs. You give Halta a hug, illiciting a purr from the cub, and put her down. Bowing, you walk out of the building.
